Looking at the market prices, Aubameyang seems a good transfer

I agree, at 28 he should be somewhere around his prime. But there is always a risk with explosive players nearing their 30s. Not that it really matters, the big PL clubs have more money than they can spend anyway.

I think it's quite similar to the Sanchez' case. Auba was likely going somewhere else in the summer anyway, so Dortmund sold him now to get at least some compensation. Nice bargain for Arsenal of course.

Difference is: Sanchez could have joined another team on a free in the summer. Auba on the other hand had a contract until 21. So Dortmund would have still gotten some compensation.

Well... But it was well known, that Auba wasnt really welcome in Dortmund anymore. The fans wanted to see him go, the club got tired of him, and coach and players also did not speak very well of him lately....
Getting 63M for that.... good enough.

And there are still serious doubts, if he will really be able to perform elsewhere...

Ah, I thought Auba was on the last year of the contract, but couldn't find confirmation right away (did find the 2020 contract now).

Doubt Man City can win every game till then but if they did the entire world would be watching.

I never would have expected to see a Barça whose better line is the defense. Umtiti, Piqué, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto are a perfect defense right now. Valverde is an awesome coach and he has improved the defensive tasks too. Umtiti is just unreal, he never makes an error. It is fun, because with Pep it was a midfield team and with Luis Enrique it was a forward team.

As far as I've understood, ter Stegen has been world class too.

Indeed he has. Who would have thought that the first keeper to challenge Manuel Neuer for the title of world's best goalie would be another german.

De Gea is better than Ter Stegen.

Also, the next big gk is probably Lafont

Not really opposed to this, but introducing it during a world cup year when the break is extra short seems kinda overkill.
